only a fool would think the state department didn't know the answer to the request.

Oh yeah - that was a real smart move then.

Have Bush ask them so that they can refuse and have it put on the front page of the news.

President of the US looks like "Oliver" in the movie, holding his empty porridge bowl timidly asking "Please sir, may I have some more...?"

A real PR coup....

I think you're missing the point. Without us, the Saudi monarchy would be overthrown in about 10 minutes. It's not a question of "feelings of superiority", it's a matter of cooperation.

Of course, Bush's problem was in listening to the State Department, which probably advised him to go hat in hand and beg the Saudis, which is the typical State approach. The Saudi rulers need us a lot more than we need them. Somehow all parties have lost sight of that fact.

You have more patience that me AAA, I put the lil sweetie on ignore, not interested in hearing more from the stupid and ignorant, not surprisingly makes for a much better ET experience.
